Reviews for Therapeutic Riding Of Texas

Therapeutic riding has many benefits. It's very rewarding to participate in the accomplishments of the riders. Often times riders have physical and/or emotional challenges that might make it seem that riding would be impossible but the TROT team is very persitant and talented and they are almost always successful. You don't need horse experience to participate because the TROT team will provide any training a volunteer might need.

Trott has is a blessing to me from God.
I enjoy watching riders, who have physical and emotion problems gain confedence, the big smiles when they they prepare, to mount, ride, and dismounting and grooming thier horse.
My work thier needs no payment but, the love we all share.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I had the honor of working as the Assistant Volunteer Coordinator for TROT for a little over a year two years ago. I was amazed at the quality of the program and the impact on the participants - volunteers AND riders AND their families. It is awesome to see a person empowered by a relationship with a horse and a group of loving and supportive of volunteers

The Therapeutic Riding of Texas - also known as TROT has had a tremendous impact on so many lives. Understanding that each 'little' drop of help done by each volunteer produces a ripple effect in the body of water called life - just watch it multiply and impact the whole. As our late head instructor, Christine Radosta's favorite quote says, "When kids and horses get together miracles happen" - sharing in these miracles with the families is an honor and privilege. Volunteering with TROT is just a small way to 'give back' to your community and makes such a profound impact on humanity. If you're looking to get involved with something bigger than yourself TROT is a provides a marvelous way of accomplishing this.

the reward of lives changed and the grateful relief of the families

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

well there aren't any 'staff' as TROT is 100% volunteer run and survives on donations only. The volunteers I have met have been such an inspiration as I watch them give of themselves so unselfishly each year. It is humbling.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

purchase Gemini Farms - the location that is generously donated to TROT where all classes are held. Purchase additional horses that are needed to fill some gaps in rider needs. Hire an Executive Director to grow the organization in every way.
